GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) vs GeForce RTX 2070

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2070, which comes with clock speeds of 1410 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 is much (more or less 388%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92). (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		41600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 161440 (388%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		10400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 79840 (768%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
